We reported the other day that Emma Watson is rumored to be cast as the Ariel to Sofia Coppola's Little Mermaid, and it seems like the Harry Potter actress is neither confirming NOR denying those whispers!

So, what did Em do when she was asked about those casting rumors on the red carpet for her film Noah?

She TOTALLY played the coy card and kept her lips sealed… well, kind of!!

Just finding out that Kanye West is commissioning a Yeezus-inspired film is big enough news to blow away our britches, but we never would've guessed which creative genius he has tapped to take a crack at the film's script!

Here's a hint: The last feature flick this dude penned stared Lindsay Lohan & a plethora of porn stars!

Yup, we're talking about Canyons scribe Bret Easton Ellis!

In a recent interview with Vice, the scandalous author took questions on the project.

Timothy Patrick McLanahan, an apparent screenwriter, is suing Tom Cruise and the other producers of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol for one billion dollars.

Yes, $1,000,000,000 — that's nine zeroes!

He says the action flick, which made almost $700 million at the international box office, ripped off a script of his called Head On. He claims he noticed the similarities in scripts were "immediately recognized" and now he's demanding a 10-figure sum!!!
